Javier, I tend to agree with you that ultimately these guys, whoever they are, are committing a crime. I'd be willing to give the Jeffrey dude the benefit of the doubt to start with, but once he was told the stuff is stolen, and now it appears the material is proliferating, he apparently is no longer an innocent.
Incidentally, whoever is buying it off eBay isn't entirely clean either. If I remember correctly, buying stolen property is a crime as well.
Of course the burden of proof is with Javier, but it doesn't look like he'd have any trouble proving this is his intellectual property anyway.
Profiting from this in this way is certainly unethical. Javier, you should preempt these guys by making the stuff available for free.
